Kyurem was resting in his cave. The ice outside glittered in the last rays of the sun that managed to reach the bottom of the mountain crater that held Full Court. It had been several years since he last had visitors: Keldeo, the Colt Pokémon, had foolishly challenged him. The battle had been a nice one once Keldeo got over his fear, but of course the Dragon had been victorious in the end.

He snorted softly, shifting a bit as he looked at the sky overhead. Several of the Cryogonal flew overhead. He glared when he noticed that it seemed as if they were fleeing from something.

He rose to his feet, walking outside. His steps softly reverberated in the surrounding ice and rock.

Kyurem growled when he looked up and saw that yes, the Cryogonal were fleeing. He looked around, his golden eyes flashing in anger. Who dared enter Full Court and not announce his presence?

"Cease thy growling, Kyurem, Lord of Full Court, thou know full well we do not like it."

He wheeled around, taking to the skies to be faster. Where his cave had been was now only shadow…

"My lady…" He whispered, settling down on the ground again. "Forgive me."

"Forgiven." The voice came from deep inside the shadows, echoing in the crater. The user did not bother to use telepathy and any humans would have heard bone-chilling screeches instead of words. "We have need of thee."

"Ever at your service." He answered as the shadows spread through his icy domain. The Cryogonal had all fled by now, this new power unsettling them deeply.

"Bring us a Sword, Kyurem. We desire it." The order was short, but clear.

For the first time in his life, Kyurem felt truly torn. He respected the Swords of Justice, but he feared the one talking to him now. Yes, he, Kyurem, was afraid. Perhaps as afraid as the young Keldeo had been after White Kyurem had frozen the three Swords of Justice.

"Wilt thou not heed us?" The voice boomed, several ice-beams shaking under the volume.

"I would never dare." He quickly answered, ducking on instinct. "Do you desire a specific Sword, my Lady?"

"Terrakion and Cobalion are on the move. Keldeo and Virizion are in Pinwheel Forest for Virizion is ill and requires rest." She told him, volume lowering to acceptable levels. "Bring us Virizion."

"Yes, my Lady." He remembered last time he had ignored her only too well. He could not go through that again. He would have to take Virizion.

The shadows did not fade. It took him a moment to realize that she would wait until he delivered the Sword to her. A shiver ran down his back.

He took to the skies, flying as fast as he could to Pinwheel Forest. Behind him Full Court was engulfed in shadows.
